Four sections take readers from the earliest human encounters to contemporary resource exploitation and climate change through thematic and critical analyses: the exploration, exploitation and mapping of Antarctica; its emergence as an object of global interest; human behaviour and environmental change in response to managerial interventions; and a contemplation of possible futures for Antarctica. All topics are covered in accessible yet authoritative contributions.
Specialist readers in polar regions, public international law, geography, geopolitics and international relations will appreciate this uniquely comprehensive and up-to-date examination of politics in and around Antarctica, as will scholars with interest in areas beyond national jurisdiction, peace/co-operation studies and the interface between public policy and science.

Industry Reviews
'Antarctica is known as a continent for science, yet to understand this vast polar region requires an understanding of its politics as much as it does knowledge of the dynamics of its ice shelves, its sub-glacial lakes, its oceanography, and its role in the global climate system. This comprehensive, superbly-edited volume of well-crafted essays provides up-to-date coverage on a range of contemporary issues, including governance, regulation, international law, tourism, images, and representations. This is essential reading for anyone concerned with the politics of and about Antarctica and its global relevance.' --Mark Nuttall, University of Alberta, Canada
